Question

after bisecting an angle, turner has two new angles, each with a measure of 13°. what was the measure of the original angle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle bisector definition

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal - measure angles.

Step2: Calculate original angle measure

If each of the two new angles has a measure of \(13^{\circ}\), then the original angle is the sum of these two angles. So we calculate \(13^{\circ}+ 13^{\circ}\).
\[13^{\circ}+13^{\circ}=26^{\circ}\]

Answer:

\(26\)
